Thanks be to God for blessing us with Hank Mckenney! Hank was a mountain of a man who had a quiet confidence and was a born leader. When he spoke, you listened and willingly followed. I think that he excelled in everything he did! He had many fine qualities that I admired, but one of the finest was his kindness. I will never forget the remarkable act of kindness he showed to me at a time when I was searching for employment, where he definitely went the extra mile on my behalf! I know that his former neighbor, Helen Renaker loved both of the Mckenney's and had a very special fondness for the many things Hank did to help after her husband died. Hank's lifestyle, actions, and his willingness to serve others were indicative of his Christian faith. His loss will be mourned my many and our heart goes out to Helen as she copes with her new life without Hank. But we know where Hank's eternal soul rests now and we give thanks to Jesus Christ for that! Hank's dear departed friend, Ellen Smith who also was a member of Fairview, loved to sing with great joy and spirit, "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing it will be!" Amen to that! We look forward to seeing Hank again and celebrating what an awesome God we serve!

So sorry to hear/see Hank's passing. I worked with him for several years in the 70's at CNC and then again as Arcadian/DSM in the 90's. Hank was a great guy and a pleasure to be around and work with. He will be dearly missed by all that new and associated with him. Our deepest sympathy to Helen and the family.

Mr Hank was a great man, I was lucky to have worked with him but more honored to call him my friend. We shared the love of gospel music and playing golf. He will bw surely missed. I will be praying for his wife, family and friends to find peace and comfort. No doubt he has gone home to be with our Lord and Savior.
